Cloth, 8vo, xvii, [1], 626 + xiv, [1], 639 p.; 22.5 cm. Gathers together 27 and 28 essays by Wolfson in English as well as 2 in Hebrew. "For almost forty years Harry Wolfson has devoted himself unreservedly, indeed heroically, to a bold and imaginative projectentitled 'Structure and Growth of Philosophic Systems from Plato to Spinoza.' The fastidiously reasoned, intricately textured thesis underlying this grand project and unifying its many offshoots has been succinctly and lucidly described by Wolfson himself in the preface to Religious Philosophy: 'If we are to follow the conventional method of dividing philosophy into ancient, medieval, and modern, then medieval philosophy is to be defined as that system of thought which flourished between pagan Greek philosophy, which know not of Scripture, and that body of philosophic writings which ever since the seventeenth century has tried to free itself from the influence of Scripture. Medieval philosophy so defined was founded by Philo. He is the interpreter ofGreek philosophy in terms of certain fundamental teachings of his Hebrew Scripture, whereby he revolutionized philosophy and remade it into what became the common philosophy of the three religions with cognate Scriptures, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This triple scriptural religious philosophy, which was built up by Philo, reigned supreme as a homogeneous, if not a thoroughly unified, system of thought until the seventeenth century, when it was pulled down by Spinoza.'" (from vol.1, p. v-vi) -- As the twelfth volume of his Structure, Wolfson intended 'a definitive revision of Spinoza, with cross-references to all the previous books of the series' (Schwarz, Wolfson of Harvard, p. 224).

New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 404 p. Türk edebiyati tarihinde, sairlerimizin âyetleri açiklayan siirlerine rastlanmakla birlikte, Serîfî Divâni gibi bütün bir dîvânin âyetlerin tefsir edildigi siirlerden olustugu bir örnek bulunmamaktadir. Serîfî'nin ortalama yirmiser beyitlik gazellerden olusturdugu dîvâni bu yönüyle Türk edebiyatinda siradisi bir örnektir. Dîvânda her gazelden önce siire konu edilecek âyetin metni verilmektedir. Sairin farkli konulardan seçtigi âyetlerin geneli Allah'in varligi, birligi, insanlara verdigi nimetler, insanlardan istekleri gibi konulardan seçilmistir. Bunun disinda Hz. Peygamber, dört büyük halife, sahabe ve velilerin övülmesiyle tevekkül, sabir, sükür, cömertlik, cimrilik, ölümün kaçinilmazligi, cennet ve cehennem ehlinin durumu gibi konular, seçilen âyetlerin tefsirleri baglaminda ele alinmistir. Okuyucuya Kur'ân-i Kerîm'in genel muhtevâsini sunan ve yaklasik 4000 beyitten olusan bu eser, Kur'ân-i Kerîm'in manzum bir tefsiri olarak hem edebî hem de dînî bakimdan büyük bir önem arzetmektedir.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (32 x 25 cm). In English. 422 p., color ills. Ninety-nine Qur'an manuscripts from Istanbul. Translated by Irvin Cemil Schick. The art of calligraphy was born of the desire record, ornament, and protect the text of the Holy Qur'an in the most perfect form by giving Arabic letters their most beautiful shapes, and by illuminating and binding the written oages so as to grant them a worthy appearance. Among the various peoples that adopted Islam, Ottoman Turks took this mission especially to heart, developing their own particular style especially after the conquest of Istanbul, and constantly striving for perfection in the artistic rendering of every kind of script.
New Arabic Original bdg. 4to. In Arabic and Turkish. 2 volumes set: (77, 1563, 72 p.). Mushaf-i Serif (Topkapi Sarayi Müzesi nüshasi, Medine Nr. 1). 2 volumes set. Prep. by Tayyar Altikulaç. One of the main chapters of IRCICA s research program titled "Studies on the Holy Quran" consists of analytical and comparative studies on historical and physical features of early copies of the Holy Quran which are located at different places around the world. These studies, published by IRCICA, not only enrich the academic literature in the field but also highlight the clear evidence of the authenticity of the Holy Quran, thus refuting some Western +authors suggestions to the contrary. The following volumes have been published by IRCICA in this series, in the order of publication: the copies attributed to the time of the Third Caliph, Othman bin Affan RA and preserved, respectively, at Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul and the Central Library of Islamic Manuscripts (originally founded as Mashhad al-Husayn) in Cairo; the copy attributed to the time of the Fourth Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib KAW and located in the Manuscripts Library near Sana a Grand Mosque, that attributed to the period of the Third Caliph, Othman bin Affan RA and preserved at the Islamic Arts Museum in Cairo, the partial copy preserved at the National Library of France, Paris, the partial copy at Tubingen University Library, Germany, the partial copy at British Library, London, the copy located at State Library in Berlin, Germany, and now, a two-volume study on the copy which is located in the collection of Fahreddin Pasha ("Defender of Madina" during World War I) at Topkapi Palace Museum Library, Istanbul. This new book contains the scholarly study by Dr. Tayyar Altikulac, specialist of studies on the Holy Quran and ex-President of Religious Affairs in Turkey, on this copy. The latter was brought from Madina to Istanbul by Fahreddin Pasha. The study is composed of elaborate chapters written with utmost depth and meticulosity. Some of the subjects dealt with are: the history of the copy, its physical condition and contents, its descent, its relationship with the known pronunciations, its orthography, the period when it was copied, and the method applied in the study.

"It is generally acknowledged that Mormonism is similar to Mohammedansim in its endorsement of the practice of polygamy, and its ideas of heaven. Many other points of similarity between these systems have been noted by students, and the Book of Mormon has marked resemblance to the Koran. As all ancient religions have a modern equivalent, Mormonism can justly be claimed to be the modern form of Mohammedanism, and not incorrectly termed "the Islam of America." - From the Editorial Committees.
